The newest trend in maternity photography?
Gender reveal photo shoots.
Gender reveals are a lot of fun to put together and if your loved one(s) live out of town or overseas, a fun photo shoot to reveal the gender of your baby is so much more fun than a "it's a >insert boy or girl<!" phone call.
So when Erika first contacted me about coming up with s[...]

If you know my sister, you know she's a planner. To the max.
When we found out she was pregnant, we also received the date for her baby shower... and the gender reveal... and... You get the drift. ;)
But seriously, you can't blame her. If you read my last post about her pregnancy story, you know she waited a long time for this moment. That's a very long time to pl[...]

While planning my baby sister's maternity session, we knew we wanted to capture a session that was a little bit different, definitely romantic, and of course, sweet.
We chose to venture to the infamous Kern River to capture this long-awaited session.
My sister has been trying for quite some time now to beco[...]

Yesenia and Orlando are excitedly awaiting the arrival of their beautiful bundle of joy… due to arrive in just a few more weeks, they are bursting with love and affection!
It was such a pleasure capturing these two glowing parents-to-be. I love the excited and loving energy these two possess. And I can't WAIT to meet little Mia Rose. (Seriously… prettiest name e[...]

I absolutely love the Garza family! Juan & Ally make the most gorgeous babies! ;)
Meet Mr. Benjamin… the newest lil' Garza in their clan. <3
When I first arrived, little Benjamin didn't want to sleep… he was ready to socialize. I had to whip out my baby whispering skills to get him sleepy. ;)
Big brother Matthew wanted to make sure I captured his sweet [...]

Isn't Genae just GLOWING with that beautiful mama glow??
Genae's mom used to read this famous book to her as a child and she plans to carry on the tradition with their little one as well. <3
We had such a great time laughing and hanging out during their session… halfway through, 2 little kitties found us and then followed us for the rest of the session! How [...]

I am so happy to announce baby number TWO for this fabulous family! If you ask me, they should have 100 more! ;) { heehee}
The Garza's make the most beeeeeeeeeeautiful babies!
Baby Matthew LOVES Jimmy! I couldn't resist capturing how great these two get along. ;) World's best assistant/kid whisperer! :D

As a mommy who has experienced fertility issues and miscarriages herself, I am very sympathetic and sensitive to my fellow mommy's that have tried & failed, carried & miscarried, and yet, through it all, maintained faith that HE is in control… and that because He knows all things, our faith and trust in Him are what give us the strength to keep on.
I met Vale[...]

Very shortly after mommy's maternity session, I had the pleasure to meet the gorgeous little girl she was carrying. <3 Meet baby Khushi Anjarie, so precious, so small!
Thank you, Liane for allowing me to capture your princess as a newborn! You and your mom are awesome. It was such a privilege working with you!
Enjoy!

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for..."
... literally.
When Liane first contacted me for maternity photos, we were both under the impression that we had some time.
Talk about timing though... the day after mommy's beautiful baby belly sess[...]
